Genes affected
BARD1 (HGNC:952): (BRCA1 associated RING domain 1) This gene encodes a protein which interacts with the N-terminal region of BRCA1. In addition to its ability to bind BRCA1 in vivo and in vitro, it shares homology with the 2 most conserved regions of BRCA1: the N-terminal RING motif and the C-terminal BRCT domain. The RING motif is a cysteine-rich sequence found in a variety of proteins that regulate cell growth, including the products of tumor suppressor genes and dominant protooncogenes. This protein also contains 3 tandem ankyrin repeats. The BARD1/BRCA1 interaction is disrupted by tumorigenic amino acid substitutions in BRCA1, implying that the formation of a stable complex between these proteins may be an essential aspect of BRCA1 tumor suppression. This protein may be the target of oncogenic mutations in breast or ovarian cancer. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant has not been reported in individuals with BARD1-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000032 (1/31380 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.M26R variant (also known as c.77T>G), located in coding exon 1 of the BARD1 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 77. The methionine at codon 26 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 1663 Brazilian breast cancer patients who underwent hereditary multigene panel testing (Guindalini RSC et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Mar;12:4190). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces methionine with arginine at codon 26 of the BARD1 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/31380 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 26 of the BARD1 protein (p.Met26Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs759957629, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BARD1-related conditions (PMID: 34326862, 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419133). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
